Normalize: Not Liking Someone Without Conflict

Let’s talk about something we don’t discuss enough. It’s okay to not like someone and still have zero drama attached to it.

In a world that thrives on subtweets, unfollows, and messy group chats, we’ve been conditioned to believe that if you don’t vibe with someone, it automatically means there’s beef. But here’s the truth:

Not everyone is for you, and that’s okay.

Sometimes personalities just don’t click. Maybe the energy feels off, the conversation doesn’t flow, or you simply don’t enjoy being around them. It doesn’t make them a bad person, and it doesn’t make you one either. It just means you’re not each other’s people and that’s normal.

I’m taking this lesson to heart in my own life. I no longer overly obligate myself to enter spaces that I do not want to go into. I am intently choosing to be in the company of people I genuinely want to be around, and I do it without feeling bad about my standard. My peace and my energy matter more than forcing myself into circles that don’t align with me.

I’m no longer a people pleaser and enjoy walking to my own beat more and more as I practice my boundaries!

This is your reminder that:

You don’t owe anyone forced friendships. Boundaries don’t require explanations. Walking away doesn’t require a dramatic exit.

Peaceful disconnection is a form of self-care. No side-eyes, no gossip, no silent wars. Just quiet acceptance that your paths don’t align.

So, let’s normalize this:

“I don’t dislike you. I just don’t vibe with you and that’s perfectly fine.”

Your energy is too valuable to waste on forcing connections that don’t feel right. Protect your peace and let everyone exist where they belong without tension.

💬 Your Turn:

Have you ever quietly stepped back from someone without it being a big deal?

Share your thoughts in the comments.

I’d love to hear your perspective on protecting your peace without the drama.

Fighting for underprivileged kids!

Unfortunately, in underprivileged and low socioeconomic communities, we see a lack of quality care and lack of culturally competent modes of providing services and care to the students and the caregivers in the academic and social systems.

Particularly in our local urban schools schools, where student of color make up the majority of the population, teachers and partnering non profit organizations must understand the “powerful influence” they have in their role of working with students and parents/caregivers.

Processing Black Men!

With high frequencies of police brutality, the hypersensitivity of a black man’s presence and the alarming reported rates of black persons having the police called on them for “living every day lives”, it’s undeniable that the black identified community experiences trauma on a regular.

In particular to black men, there needs to be a space for the brothers to get together to have their trauma validated, sorted out and healed!

Change your perspective on things!

It is so important that you understand the concept of changing your perspective!

The way in which you view your life or current circumstance, will dictate the way in which you respond. And most importantly, the way in which you respond to your current circumstance will dictate your success or failure to overcome your current situation!

A Triggered Thought

While falling through the black whole of social media (aka scrolling for an innumerable amount of time) I unintentionally fell into a deep sadness, followed by panic, and hopelessness, ultimately ending with anger and curiosity.

Leading to this world wind of emotions, I was overstimulated with black lives matter posts, news coverage of injustices, senseless killings and violence, racism, class-ism and all the other -isms and -schisms that exist to cause chaos and confusion.
